Rohr calls up Esiti and Idowu for Ukraine friendly...

[jette1]

Idowu was probably called up cos it's next door to him since we are playing Ukraine

Since Idowu is Russian citizen are we sure Ukraine wont seize him in return for Russian annex of Crimea

[EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA]

The man is just chopping Naija money. I hope they don't extend his contract.

Mods.........one of you has escaped the lunatic assylum.

Hey are mods are in the asylum?

With the injury to Ebuehi and Agu changing his mind, Idowu was a good choice.

I would have gone for Azuibuike instead of Esiti.

When is U23 list coming out? First leg is 6 days away

The Esiti i watched 2 seasons ago was not polished, not a SE MFer. I'm hoping he has improved else you guys will be very disappointed.

...i didn't have any problems with his performance in Russia 2018.

You know CE pundits always know best.
One day you are the best thing since sliced plantain; the next day you are public enemy no 1.

I find hard to understand why some fans consider Brian Idowu to be a bad player? He scored on his debut against Argentina. I even think he should have made the last nations cup squad. Collins maybe first choice for now but I think he could have featured on left while Collins was out injured with Aina on the right his more natural position. I don’t even understand why Aina was left out when Collins returned from injury and Rohr used a makeshift center back as a right full back. The make shift CB is and was a liability in defence.

I look forward to seeing him in he upcoming friendly.

Siddon look.

And how “polished” was the Ndidi you watched 2/3 seasons ago?!

Of course, not sure whatever the nebulous term “polished” means in this context, but Esiti has always played that disrupter role to near-perfection, and if not for Gent’s intransigence would have been in La Liga last season (with Gent reneging after a deal had been struck with Levante).

I guess the likes of Azuibikwe and Michael Kingsley are being allowed to play for the U23 team because I would not pick that slow lumbering giant over any of these guys for our midfield. No way.

We dont need slow and one dimensional midfield players for heavens sake.

The same Kingsley Michael that played at the U20 world cup and was very poor? Some of you guys think this is table soccer.

There's a reason why he took a step down into the Greek league, the guy na mechanic for field. But lets see how he does for SE sha...in his last call up vs Zambia he didn't get too much time on the field...

Esiti played 88 games over the past 3 seasons in Belgium...
The same league Rohr sourced many SE players (Simon, Osimhen, Kalu, etc.).

Interesting that you effectively accuse Rohr of inviting him only after he “steps down”!

Continue hoping and praying. More pain for you.
You can't even enjoy SE news anymore
You see yasef?

"Esiti was called up alongside Lokomotive Moscow defender Bryan Idowu who is in as back up for Tyronne Ebuehi who might not be fit for the game while Esiti is in as Ndidi has been ruled out."

Ndidi played the full 90mins vs Bournemouth yesterday.
So how injured is he?

Rohr has already given him permission to miss the Ukraine game, according to reports.

Okay, it must be just to give him a rest.

Good. Other players need to be tried in that role. Ndidi is too error prone and not a natural DM.

[wiseone]

Azubuike is getting a raw deal. He should have been next can off the rank after Mikel retired.

[john12]

idowu isn't as bad as you guys make him look. defensively, he is more solid at LB than aina, ebuehi but people dont judge footballers by their number 1 duty anymore. they just want guys attacking relentlessly
